Ultra Low Temperature Freezer Maintenance

Scitech lab services will always advise our customers to follow a good maintenance plan with their lab equipment.

Ultra low temperature freezer maintenance.

It typically involves inspection of equipment and detection and correction of potential problems to ensure continued uptime. Increasing freezer temperatures from 80oc to 70oc will decrease the run time of the compressor and the frequency of the start stop cycle and extend the life span of the freezer. And lastly a poorly maintained ultra low freezer can cause the catastrophic loss of potentially irreplaceable samples. The service life of the freezer may be increased by following the maintenance tips in this document for setup operation and preventative maintenance.

Preventive maintenance includes routine servicing by the ultra low temperature freezer manufacturer and regular maintenance performed by you. The most common temperature for storing materials in ultra low freezers is 80 c. Maintenance is scheduled on an annual semi annual or quarterly basis. Ultralow freezers which typically operate at 86 c are used in laboratories and hospitals worldwide and are intended for reliable and long term storage of temperature sensitive research samples such as blood plasma and organ tissue.
